Allopathic (Western) and Alternative Medicine
The purpose of this section is to educate people as to why things
are the way they are, what is the driving force, and what possible
ways things could be worked out in the medical arts.
Nowadays
people tend to think of medicine in separate categories, in actuality,
all medicine should be thought of in the same terms ... does it
address the true problem and does it do the most good with the
least harmful effects? It should address the patients best interests
and use whatever tools are available to achieve the quickest resolution
and most permanent cure / reversal with the least harm.
This,
though, is not the current model of therapy for either school
of thought. Each in it's separate way distance themselves from
each other. Unfortunately the medical field is more to blame for
this philosophy then anyone. Fortunately, there is an ever growing
population of medical practitioners that are more free in their
thought processes. It still will be a generation or two from now
before we see any true blending of the healing arts, but I feel
confident that in time this will indeed happen.
The
allopathic medicine model is to find a cure based upon control
of the body or environment, or by use of corrective surgery. A
typical example would be a case of osteoarthritis. Either hormone
replacement therapy or a semi-hormone which stops bone demineralization
would be prescribed. Also bone density tests would be used to
keep a check on the progress or halt of demineralization. Possibly,
the patient would be advised to take 1000-2000 mg of calcium.
An NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory) such as Celebrex might
also be prescribed for pain and swelling. https://apothekefurmenschen.de/antabuse-generika-disulfiram/
The
alternative medicine model would be to give strict nutrition advise
to reverse the demineralization along with a high quality multiple
vitamin/mineral formula designed specifically for osteoarthritis,
physical therapy in the form of Tai Qi or yoga, hydrotherapy,
acupuncture, Moxa, massage, etc., might be used for pain, swelling,
and mobilization. Nutraceuticals would be used instead of NSAID's.
The patient would be followed again with bone density tests or
other specialized tests, possibly a homeopathic remedy would be
given also. If any hormone therapy was used it would be a mexican
yam derived formula through a botanical formulation or compounding
pharmacy company.
Ideally,
the most effective, cheapest, and least harmful of all these therapies
would be used to both save the patient expense and increase the
quality of life.
Part
of the problem is the insurance industry and medicare. There is
very little coverage at this point in time from the private sector
and no coverage at all from Medicare for the alternative field
of medicine. This gives the allopaths a distinct advantage both
politically and economically, and additionally puts an extra burden
upon the patient seeking additional care. I have seen a positive
change in the insurance industry but only because of pressure
from its constituents. It still has a long way to go.
Another
part of the problem is the ego involved with power. That is to
say that the allopaths have put themselves for the most part in
a position where they are superior to their patients and the patient
actually feels grateful to be able to see them for more then five
minutes at a time. Forget about a phone call or a home visit.
Once one is in this position it is almost impossible to relinquish.
The medical industry at this point is also controlled by the insurance
and petrochemical industries. A case in point would be where insurance
companies will only pay for certain doctors, certain lab tests
and certain medications. Even if a some physicians want to act
differently, they can come under board, association and insurance
scrutiny and eventually lose their license or become a renegade
(not such a bad thing).
The
perfect solution would be a health care system where all people
would enter getting a grade based upon age, health, and occupation.
This would translate into how many dollars it would cost per year
for total coverage. The next year it could go up or down based
upon a better or worse grade. No docking for birth defects. The
physician would also be graded to whether his client base improved
or declined and could get bonuses if they improved or percentage
pay cuts if they declined. This is the United States and everything
revolves around currency. The sooner we admit it and use it to
our advantage the better off we will be. This system is quite
complicated and reserved for another lecture, but this is the
general drift. https://apothekefurmenschen.de/ventolin-generika/
